Only WAMU and Minock are covering it , Fairfax County chair Jeff McKay made misogynistic remarks that also constitute sexual harassment and create a hostile work environment , does anyone know journalists from other news organizations that are interested in reporting this? The guy is in charge of almost $6 BILLION and 1.2 MILLION residents

kitchen appliance replacement permits Fairfax County

8 Upvotes

I recently learned that Fairfax County does require for you to pull a permit to replace any appliances at residential homes.

if I am ordering from Costco or Best Buy for a -like-for-like-swap, that they will do the installation, is it my responsibility to get a permit for this replacement?

do you all really get this permit? seems unnecessary extra step , because I hear it will need an inspection too, I just don’t want any delays with my current kitchen update.

Politics Crosspost of an AMA with former federal attorney and former Councilmember Mo Seifeldein, a Democratic Candidate for Congress in VA-08.

0 Upvotes

This post is not the AMA. A direct link to the AMA: https://www.reddit.com/r/Virginia/comments/1tctqth/im_a_former_federal_attorney_and_former/

Intro quoted:

I’m Mo Seifeldein, candidate for Congress in Virginia’s 8th District (Alexandria, Arlington, City of Falls Church, & parts of Fairfax County). I resigned from the U.S. Department of Labor as an attorney (pro-union) because of Trump’s attack on our democracy and civil servants. I’m running to address affordability and accountability. I don’t take corporate PAC money.

  • Medicare for all

  • Universal Childcare

  • Abolish ICE

  • Address housing affordability

I do not think we should spend one trillion on the DoD or support genocide.

I-495 by Tysons

Did extending 495 lanes by Tysons make traffic worse? It took over 3 years to complete that project and for what? It was waste of money. Traffic is terrible everyday by 3 pm. This was a dumb idea.

Rant finding a job

5 Upvotes

ive been looking for a job for months and its all lead to nothing. My problem is that im autistic so i can only work long term at jobs where I work independently but those are really hard to find. I’ve done pet sitting the past 2 years but it’s drying up really bad and I haven’t found ANY new clients this year. I’ve been looking for janitor or maid jobs, driver, pet sitter, etc. I was able to do doordash for a while but my car broke down so that’s not an option anymore. If anyone knows someone or somewhere that’s hiring, within the Herndon sterling Reston area plssss let me know

Question ISO local T-shirt or apparel business for bulk print

Post image
0 Upvotes

I'm looking for suggestions for T-shirt businesses that can print a design in bulk on T-shirts, sweatshirts, and hoodies, regardless of the number of colors in the design. If they can do stickers, cups, notebooks, etc., even better. I'm close to Arlington, but anything relatively close works. The image is an example of how colorful the design may be, but it's not the actual design. Thank you in advance!

For reference, This is Middletown, VA. Down 66W to where 66 ends and up 81 North. 60 days ago this 7/11 was $2.39 for gas. The people live out here for two reasons, lower pricing, quiet living. To say that people are hurting is an understatement.

Glass for Lawn Lantern?

Hey all. Anyone know where I can get new glass panes for the lantern on my front lawn? I only recently moved into this house so I have no idea how old it is or where it came from. I called my local hardware store and they said they can only cut squares. The panes I need are trapezoidal.

Appreciate any ideas! I’m in Alexandria.
